Nemtsova seems to expect us to agree that every Western campaigner for honesty in politics and anti-corruption uses the swastika as his motive. Swastikas are everywhere in the West; they stand for purity and truth.

Only a nasty old poop like Putin would think that swastikas have any connection with, well, not to put too fine a point on it, nazis.

There are a lot of swastikas and the like in today’s Ukraine to be explained away by the spinners, aren’t there?
